Calcium Pyrophosphate Deposition Disease in the Craniovertebral Junction: An Unusual Cause of Neck Pain

Crowned Dens Syndrome (CDS) is a rare manifestation of Calcium Pyrophosphate Deposition (CPPD) disease characterised by calcification around the odontoid process in the atlantoaxial joint. It manifests as intense neck pain with signs of systemic inflammation, including elevated acute phase reactants.

Association of baseline and change in tibial and femoral cartilage thickness and development of widespread full-thickness cartilage loss in knee osteoarthritis – data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative

Objective: To investigate whether baseline cartilage thickness and its longitudinal change are associated with incident widespread full-thickness cartilage loss (wsFTCL) in knee osteoarthritis, and whether there are optimal cut-off values for predicting wsFTCL.
